Proverbs 3:4

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.

The theme of the proverbs in chapter 3 are the rewards of wisdom.

Thoughts for the day...
I remember this verse from my childhood, and I sometimes wish I could go back to that simpler time when I had that same faith.  As an adult, I find myself thinking too much about stuff that I should just trust God about.  He commands us in His Word not to trust in Him just a little bit, not just some of the time, but all the time and with all of my heart.  The second part of this verse says to lean not on my own understanding.  The thing is, that should be really easy to do, because there's a lot that I don't understand about a great many things.  But again, I think too much and too hard about things, trying to lean on the understanding that I just don't have; the understanding that can only come from God.

Are you trusting in God with everything you've got, or are you like me, running to Him when everything else you've tried has not worked?  God should not be the last resort; He should always be the first option.  He knows what's best for us, so trust Him to provide you with everything you need!

My Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to seek You first in everything I do, and not to think of You as a last resort when all else fails.  You love me, You want what's best for me, and I pray that I will begin to trust you with all of my heart once again, as I did when I was a child.
